in a manner as hereinafter set forth, for adjustably supporting a shaderoller and ourtain pole, and to further provide a device of such typewhich can be secured to a Window frame without marring the same.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a combined shade rollerand cur tain pole support which is comparatively simple in itsconstruction and arrangement, strong, durable, eflicicnt in its use,conveniently secured in position to a window frame, and inexpensive tomanufacture.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists ofthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts ashereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereuntoappended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several viewsz-Figure 1 is an elevation of a windowframe showing the adaptation therewith of a combined shade roller andcurtain pole support in accordance with this invention, the supporthaving the curtain pole and shade roller connected therewith. Fig. 2 isa front elevation of a support. Fig. 3 is a side elevation and furtherillustrating in dotted lines the curtain pole bracket shifted.

Referring to the drawings in detail 1 denotes a window frame, 2 a shadeand 3 a curtain. The shade 2 is carried by a roller 4 and the curtain 3is mounted upon a pole 5.

Secured to the front of-the frame 1, at each upper corner thereof, is acombined shade roller and curtain pole support in accordance with thisinvention and said support consists of a plate 6, having a horizontalflange 7 and a vertical flange 8. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

as illustrated in Fig. 1.

SeriaLNo. 50,549.

'flangeS is extended and bent rearwardly as at 9, so as to overlap theflange 7, the

latter projects rearwardly from the plate 6 as at 10 and is formed withan opening 11, through which is adapted to extend a hold fast device,capable of engaging in the top of the frame 1 for securing the plate 6in position against the front" of the frame 1 The flange 8 is formedwlth a vertically extending slot 12 and through the said slot 12 extendsthe I shank 13 of a hook-shaped bracket 1%.

The lower edge of the shank 13 is toothed as at 15 and the said teeth 15engage with the bottom wall of the slot 12 for the purpose of arrestinginward and outward shifting of the bracket 14 when the latter has beenadjusted. Secured to the shank 13, near the inner end thereof, is a pin16, which travels in a slot 17 formed in a plate 6 and extending inparallelism to the top edge of said plate 6.

One edge of the bracket 1 1 is serrated as at 18 and which preventsslipping of the pole 19 when the latter is mounted in the bracket 1%.

The pin and slot connection 16 and 17 between the shank l5 and plate 6,in connection with the teeth 15 provides means whereby the bracket 1 1can be adjustably connected to the plate 6 and after being adjustedmaintained in such position.

Formed integral with the inner portion of the plate (3, is a rightangular disposed arm 20 which is adapted to be positioned against thefront of the frame 1, and the said arm 20 has an opening 21, throughwhich is adapted to extend a suitable hold fast device for fixedlysecuring the arm 20 to the frame 1. The arm 20 has a forward extension22, slotted as at 23, and extending through the latter is alongitudinally disposed supporting arm 21, formed with a lengthwise slot25, through which extends a thumb screw 26 whereby said arm 2% can beclamped to the arm 20 and secured from movement. The outer end of thearm 24 has a right angular disposed bracket 27 formed integral therewithand which is adapted to support the pintle of a shade roller.

The thumb screw 26 in connection with the slot 25 of the arm 21, admitsof the adjusting of the arm 21 and also enables the said arm to besecured in its adjusted position.

What I claim is 1. A combined shade roller and curtain pole supportcomprising a plate adapted to be secured to a window frame and formedwith a slot and a slotted flange, an arm integral with said plate andformed with a slotted flange, said arm disposed at right angles withrespect to said plate, an adjustable pole bracket having a shankextending 'through the slotted flange of said plate and carrying a pinengaging in the slot of the plate, an adjustable element extendingthrough the slotted flange of said arm and having its outer end providedwith a for element, each of the arms of said element provided with aslotted flange, an adjustable curtain pole bracket extending through oneof said slotted flanges, connected with one of said arms and havingteeth for engaging with sald flange to arrest shifting Copies of thispatent may be obtained for movement of the bracket, an adjustable arm'extending through the other of said slotted flanges and provided with abracket for supporting the pintle of a shade roller, and

means for maintaining said adjustable arm in adjusted position.

3. A combined shade roller and curtain pole support comprising anangular-shaped element, each of the arms of said element provided with aslotted flange, an adjustable curtain pole bracket extending through oneor said slotted flanges, connected with one or sa1d arms and havingteeth for engaging with said flange to arrest shifting movement of thebracket, an adjustable arm extending through the other of said slottedflanges and provided with a bracket for supporting the pintle of a shaderoller, means for maintaining said adjustable arm in adjusted position,and means whereby said element can be secured to a window frame.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
